Bedgrove is one of the housing estates of the modern town of Aylesbury in Buckinghamshire, though it takes its name from a farm and hamlet that stood in the area until the area was cleared for building in the late 1950s. At the time it was built it was the largest housing estate of its kind in the country.〔The Bucks Herald (2002) ''Memory Lane Aylesbury: Into The Seventies''. Derby: Breedon Books〕 The housing estate is on the south side of the town. The farm (and associated cottages) was where Pevensey Close now stands. In the 2001 census the population of Bedgrove was 9,171 people. Also the ancient village of Caldicot (mentioned in the Domesday Book) was thought to be situated approximately where Caldicot Close is today, hence the name of the new road. == Facilities == In the middle of Bedgrove, there are two churches, one Church of England called ''Church of the Holy Spirit'', and one Roman Catholic Church, called ''Our Lady of Lourdes''. There is also a baptist church in Limes Avenue. Bedgrove is served by Bedgrove Infant School, for children aged from three to seven, and Bedgrove Junior School, for children aged from seven to eleven. Both are foundation schools, which each take approximately 480 pupils. On the southside of Bedgrove is Bedgrove Park, a large field with many football pitches, a community centre, a playground designed for 2-12 year olds and an all weather pitch designed for youths to play football and netball. In the heart of Bedgrove is Jansel Square, which consists of several take away restaurants (Chinese and Fish and Chips) and many shops including: Budgens, Sue Ryder Care, Extra Care, McCoy's Fish & Chips, Jade Garden (Chinese Restaurant)William Hill, Tilbury's Butchers, Martin McColl's Newsagent (which includes a branch of the Post Office), a gift shop, and a café called The Coffee Bean. A new Sainsbury's Local store recently opened next to the William Hill bookmakers, on 28 April 2014.〔http://www.bucksherald.co.uk/news/more-news/sainsbury-s-town-supermarket-lines-up-another-store-in-aylesbury-1-5321823〕〔http://www.sainsburys-aylesbury.co.uk/sainsburys-submit-application/〕 There is also a Pub named 'The Buckinghamshire Yeoman' in Jansel Square.〔http://www.pub-explorer.com/bucks/pub/buckinghamshireyeomanbedgrove.htm〕 The Arriva 'Pink Route' service 8 to Aylesbury serves Bedgrove Monday-Saturday, at a frequency of up to every 20 minutes, which runs via Broughton. 〔http://www.arrivabus.co.uk/serviceInformation.aspx?id=34359739460&r=South+East〕 Stops on this route serve Welbeck Avenue, Cambourne Avenue, Cam Mead and Long Meadow.
